Well, that's a bit extreme. Make it 16kB or something. Anything should be 
able to handle that.

Obviously it should be tweaked, and I just chose an absurdly low value.
However, "xargs --show-limit" claims that the POSIX minimum is 2048,
less the size of the environment. I have no idea what the original
problem reporter's platform is, or what sort of environment size is sane
there.
